The language of this song should be familiar to everyone, despite the archaic spelling. So today's quiz question instead is: Which beloved four-man pop group released a version of it? I first heard it only a few years ago from my sister-in-law; it's one of her favourites and absolutely beautiful when sung softly.
Riu, riu, chiu
La guarda ribera
Dios guarde el lobo
De nuestra cordera.

El lobo rabioso
La quiso morder
Mas Dios poderoso
La supo defender,
Quizole hazer que
No pudiesse pecar.
Ni aun original
Esta virgen no tuviera,

Riu, riu, chiu
La guarda ribera
Dios guarde el lobo
De nuestra cordera.

Este viene a dar
A los muertos vida,
Y viene a reparar
De todas la cayla;
Es la luz del dia
Aqueste moçuelo.
Este es el cordero
Que San Juan dixera.

Riu, riu, chiu
La guarda ribera
Dios guarde el lobo
De nuestra cordera.

Yo vi mil garçones
Que andavan contando
Por aqui bolando
Haziendo mil sones,
Diziendo a gascones,
Gloria sea en el cielo,
Y paz en el suelo
Pues Jesus nasçiera.

Riu, riu, chiu
La guarda ribera
Dios guarde el lobo
De nuestra cordera.
